By planning i meant getting the city to agree to run sewer or , water or power. They often have their own development agrenda that means a sewer won't extens to an area for 5 years, etc. I had a well for a long time, getting city water is something I wanted no matter the cost, but city would only run the line if every farm for 10 miles bought in, so they could run it once. This is the type of stuff you have to deal with when talking with City Planners
